The person who usually grooms my dog was booked up because she`s on vacation in September. I was worried that my dog wouldn`t do well with a new groomer, as he is anxious if I`m not around, and has a strong aversion to water, especially in bath form. I took a chance based on my positive experience getting my dog`s nails clipped at Clippers N Suds. My dog was HAPPY when I picked him up. Not just excited to see me, but he walked home with a big smile. There was no acting out (once he peed on a rug because he was pissed off we took him to the groomers). He wasn`t mad, anxious or anything but HAPPY when I got home. He looks great too. Maybe I`m biased but he`s adorable. Tannis was friendly and best of all, she likes my dog! I know my dog hates baths and the dryer, but she told me he was good, particularly for the grooming though he does not like the dryer. LOL. That`s putting it nicely. I also know he whines in a very high pitch chirps when I have to leave him there but when I asked, she just smiled and said he was good boy. The other employee in the back was very nice and said my dog was a real cutie. It`s a huge relief to find a groomer that takes good care of my dog. It`s a good feeling to have knowing that the people grooming my dog like him too. Thanks Tannis! We will be back. read more

Clippers N Suds - Pet Groomers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

My first time here and my beautiful pooch & I did a self wash. I have a bad back and can't handle washes in the bath at home anymore. The cost was very reasonable. I can't believe how helpful the staff was and how many supplies were included!! I am sure we will become regulars now that we've discovered this gem! read more

Clippers N Suds - Sweet Bella fresh & clean after her wash! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

It's always fun living in an apartment building and bathing your dog! It's never a fun task and our boxer is not a fan of it. I wanted to locate a place that I could wash him after he would get all messy from the dog park and I finally found the place! It's very close to our house and the hours are quite convenient. There are 3 large tubs for use and come equipped with dog restraints, slip preventing mats and a nice long hose. They also provide the shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer and towels! The best part ... you can leave your mess behind as they clean up after you!! How great is that??? There's also a grooming salon where you can leave your pet to be groomed. I love the loyalty program and the staff are very friendly. If you are in the South West - Westgate community, this is the place to bathe your dog. read more

This is the best self-wash in the city. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are low, and the value is high!

Solid option for the DIY self serve dog wash. Had to ask for more shampoo & towels but the woman at the desk was friendly & obliging. Dryer had great pressure and managed to blow out my dogs's thick undercoat (not all dryers can do that). Cheap too, $10 for my mini-shnauzer & $15 for my medium German-shepherd mix. Definitely going back! read more

Love this place. They only accept walk-ins for nail trimming and since I always need my dogs nails trimmed last minute, it works out perfectly. Staff is always very friendly to me and kind and patient with my dog. Its also located right next door to a large pet store so its a handy one-stop shop for all my dog's lengthy needs. read more

Thrilled with the first hair cut our 8mos Sheepadoodle received. Great friendly service in a clean environment. We will definitely go back read more

Clippers N Suds - 8mo old Henry got his first hair cut! Thank you Clippers N Suds - Pet Groomers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Tanis and team are STELLAR. My dog has always been anxious with groomers and will stress out when we leave her. From the moment we walked in, Tanis was incredible. Her love for the dogs is obvious from the first moment. Not only was our dog put at ease right away, she was still comfortable and happy when we picked her up. This showed us that she had a wonderful experience. In addition to feeling happy and safe, Beatrix LOOKED fabulous. She can be very difficult around her feet and rear, but Tanis and team did a spectacular job. The groomer knows what they are doing and genuinely​ loves dogs. We are thrilled to have discovered them. Thank you Tanis from the bottom of my heart! We will be back! read more

Disappointed by misrepresentation, lack of integrity, unreasonable pregrooming expectations and they are not listed anywhere on website, in store or verbally communicated prior to grooming . Overall a lack of transparency. I brought my dog in for grooming after our first groom went well. I was referred to this salon by our dog sitter who had had another pet parent use them for their large (Bernese Mtn dog), were referred to Tanis. My dog is a smaller Samoyed(40 lbs) with tons of fur of course. My dog had been brushed by our doggie sitter on the Wednesday prior to her bathing appt two days later on Saturday. Dropped puppy off at 12 pm, I received a call that our dog had been bathed and was done two hours later and could be picked up in 20 min. The caller, let me know I was charged an additional $25 dollars because "she was matted and it took two staff to groom her." I paid $181.50, incl. tax and tip, not a problem if she was matted but she was not. I asked where she was matted and was quite shocked. I've never had the experience over the 27 years I've had Samoyed's in my life to be groomed in that record time, but, ok, let's give them the benefit of a doubt. When I came to pick up my fur baby, I was told by the groomer who stated she had to charge extra because the owner, who groomed her stated bc it took two people to groom her and she was matted and they"couldn't put a comb through her fur." I paid the $150 plus gst and tipped them 15% for the work they did, which was a good job by the looks of it. The owner wasn't there so I left a message for her to call me. I called a second time and spoke with the same woman who received my payment and let her know that I was unhappy with the charges and the fact that my dog had been in good shape coming in and not matted. The owner left a vm for me stating that yes, "she had been brushed, and that brushing and combing are two different things." She also stated in her message that my dogs undercoat was packed and that's why it took so long.?" I'm confused about the fact that I would be bringing my dog to be groomed, and the expectation of this groomer that she already be groomed, combed out so they can bathe her? It didn't take long, I could understand if she had been there for 4 hrs which is the usual give/or take time. It's hard enough to leave one's pet with an unknown and new grooming service. And then to have a hidden expectation which is unreasonable (FOR THE GROOMER TO BE ABLE TO RUN A COMB RUN THROUGH MY DOGS FUR BEFORE GROOMING HER) AND THEN CHARGE FOR THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SPEND EXTRA TIME ON HER.). Disappointed and chalking it down to an unfortunate experience knowing that there is a lack of integrity, unreasonable expectations and dishonestly here. read more

Pet owners who care... beware!! We've taken our dog to Clippers N Suds 2x. The first time, while we didn't necessarily like his cut, our dog was fine after and the staff seemed nice. The second visit however was a significantly different result and very similar to Steve J's review, also on this site. Shortly after the 2nd visit we noticed our dog has since behaved much differently - visibly scared, shaking, agitated, and behaving much differently than his normal friendly and relaxed self. The cut itself is uneven and so short in places his skin seems raw and irritated. We followed up with the staff to see if there were issues. The behaviour / attitude from the staff was a complete 180 from the nice / friendly staff we experienced the first time. They tried to pass blame to us, commented that our dog was "mad" (he never gets mad) and that they called us b/c of his behaviour. Neither my husband nor i received a call or let alone a missed call. We also had a perfectly "potty" trained dog and have since issues with him not wanting to going to the bathroom.... this is a total mystery to us. We had previously taken our dog to Pet Smart and were always happy with the treatment of our dog and the service that was provided. Give the location of Clippers N Suds and that we like to support locally owned shops, we thought we would give them a try. However given what we suspect was extremely poor treatment of our dog we will never return to this shop. read more

This place is an awesome place to go for grooming your dogs and especially for a cheap wash. The self wash is awesome and they provide everything you need in order to clean your pet without getting wet. The staff is extremely friendly from front to back and it's an overall pleasant experience. Most importantly it is affordable for the great service you are getting and it is in a very convenient location! read more

Took my chihuahua to get her nails clipped. She's a rescue and gets really nervous around people. Plus this was her first time at this place. The young lady was so understanding and gentle with my pup. She talked to my pup in a nice tone too. These things are very meaningful to me because I'm already worried about my dog's stress so details like seeing her being nice to my scared fur baby are awesome. I appreciate the patience and highly recommend this place. :) read more

Outstanding! I do not, and will not, bring my dogs (or my client dogs) to any other grooming or self wash place. Clippers 'N Suds is clean, friendly, and staffed with the most amazing people. They are kind and compassionate and will bend over backwards to help accommodate you and your pouches. They are knowledgable and passionate about proper dog and cat grooming and overall care. I cannot express enough how amazing this place is!! Experience them for yourself, whether it be dog/cat grooming or using the self-wash tubs, and see how incredible they are!! read more

We've used this place for both the self wash stations and getting our dog groomed. The staff are so incredibly friendly and helpful. Our dog came out looking beautiful! Her fur is very thick and long and I was really pleased with how they groomed her. Usually the groomers can be a tiring experience for her as it takes a while for her to get groomed but at Clippers and Suds she didn't come out drained like she has in other places. She was smiling for the rest of day and was super happy! read more

What a wonderful place! I brought my dog here straight from the dog park after she rolled in something gross. The staff were amazing and so helpful. They helped me get my dog in the tub and secured. They supplied a smock to keep me dry, the shampoo, conditioner, ear cleaner, towel, blow dryer and brushes. They even handled the cleanup! The price was very affordable as well. I could tell that they truly love dogs there and even though I can bath my dogs at home, I would still come to Clippers N Suds for the convenience of not having to clean my bathtub after or wash towels. Thank you ladies! read more

Clippers n Suds is my fave self bath place in the city. Service is stellar. Really nice tubs with proper stairs. They provide a rubber apron, shampoo, brushes and cotton for ears. Prices are reasonable. Many self-baths have wimpy dryers, but Clippers offers good pressure and not too much heat. They offer grooming service too for non-DIYers. The only reason I'm not rating 5 stars is because they are closed on Sundays, which is my best bath day. read more

I'm used to dog self washes being dirty and disgusting and in disrepair. It was really nice to see the friendly and helpful staff and decent facilities. The staff also assisted me when my big, hairy dog was being a little difficult to wash, and I wasn't charged extra or anything. I also forgot my shampoo, but they supply it anyway! I will definitely be coming back, so much better than other self washes out there read more
